Oracle Labs Australia

Overview

Description Start

Oracle Labs Australia is passionate about improving the quality of software and the productivity of developers. We research and develop new techniques in program analysis. We are best known for our scalable static-code analysis research that led to the Oracle Parfait bug checker used by thousands of developers at Oracle.

Currently, we are building on earlier successes to develop analysis techniques to find security vulnerabilities in large real-world codebases—before they are exploited and become potential cyber threats. In the innovative Frappé project, we are improving the productivity of software developers with our work on analysing the impact of code changes in large codebases.

Our research teams are working to ensure that these new techniques produce highly precise results at enterprise scale. For more information, refer to our project links (below).

Knowledge sharing in cyber security and program analysis

Our work in Australia supports Oracle’s other research teams. We share our knowledge with leading academics, postdoctorates, developers, and a diverse range of students.

Through our internship program, Oracle nurtures local talent for academic excellence in cyber security and program analysis.

Cristina is the Director of Oracle Labs Australia and an Architect at Oracle. Her team focuses on cyber security and program analysis for vulnerabilities, software reliability, finding bugs in software, and enhancing productivity of developers worldwide.

WORKING WITH US

INTERNING WITH US

We work with 2 different types of students at Oracle Labs Australia – Research Assistants and Visiting Students.

Research Assistants are predominantly students undertaking their PhD in a topic related to an area of exploration for us.
These are advertised in the first quarter of the calendar year, via Oracle’s recruiting system, Taleo.

Visiting students are sourced from local, Queensland universities.
They achieve academic credit from the university, whilst undertaking work experience with us.
These positions are advertised through the university, some are also advertised through the CEED Program.

How we help students

We link you up with an experienced supervisor on the Brisbane team, who will work closely with you, helping you grow your skills. We regularly have guest speakers presenting to us on cutting edge topics. And love to meet after work to let our hair down over some drinks, or with some rock climbing.
